Turbotax Business - Non-Mac version

[HillDaddy]

After reading the post that there isn't enough demand for Mac versions to produce one, now you can count me a one less demand for Mac versions of any other TT software.  Used it since early 2000's, no it is of no use if TT can't be a one-stop-shop for me.

FYI, no other income tax preparation software company offers a Mac version of their software designed for the preparation of income tax returns for entities. You have no other options, unfortunately.

TaxAct does offer Business/Corporate Taxes on-line, where you can use Apple Safari Browser.  I'm not sure why TurboTax does not offer an on-line version.  Everything else seems to be offered on-line, except the Business Tax Program.

There is this.  I think it is Online and it doesn't say you need Windows.  There is LIVE Full Service Business and LIVE Assisted Business.

Jan 2023 You can now have LIVE Full Service help with Turbo Tax Business

There is not demand for it because most people, once seeing that they don't have a Mac version, move on.  Many businesses are run on Mac, and it's a missed opportunity for TT when they are already developing Mac versions in EVERY one of their products except this one.

There is still a Mac version for TurboTax in 2023.  There is just one initial file for download or purchase. During the installation, you can install the Mac version or Windows version as appropriate.

The Mac program runs only on MacOS Monterey 12 or later.  You can download the program HERE and find full system requirements HERE.

There is no Mac version for TurboTax Business, however.

@SusanY1 The user above is unhappy that there is not a Mac version of TurboTax Business.   TT Business only runs on Windows.  There is no Mac version.  Some Mac users have been able to use a Windows emulator like Paralells in order to use TurboTax Business on a Mac.

Correct, my comment was about TT Business.  It doesn't make sense that every product TT makes has a Mac version except the Business version.  The comment was made that there was "not enough demand" for it, so I was making it clear I was demanding it.  And I'm not paying $489 or $1,169 for the online version when a CPA will do it for $300.  Just making sure TT knows that small businesses would buy a Mac version.

The above-quoted statement is true in the sense that there is insufficient demand to justify the costs of developing a Mac version of TurboTax Business. Every single tax year, the software needs to have a team of developers assigned to construct and update the program. If it were worth the expense, Intuit would have released a Mac version of TurboTax Business years ago.

If you can get a CPA to prepare ANY kind of federal business income tax return (or 1041, for that matter) for $300, you really should jump all over that. Personally, I know quite a few CPAs and lawyers and, as an example, none of them will touch even the most basic trust or estate income tax return for less than $800.

Admittedly, we're small (and no employees).  But our CPA does our returns for $300 each year.  I was just interested in TT because it would be a less expensive solution (potentially).  I can't use the smaller business solution because we're a subchapter S and need to product K-1 forms.
